Let us first put aside the option value of academics

Which one demand higher working hours? Litigation consulting or Top 30 finance AP?

I think we should start rating referees after we get their reports. I just got 2 rejections. One was very professional, and rightfully bought up the weaknesses of the paper. The other referee didn't even understand the paper and was just bloody awful. If we would rate referees they would have an incentive to do their work better, and editors would get a sense whether they should use these referees again.

What is the pay and teaching load for finance seasoned APs at Wake Forest? It is hard to figure out since it is private.

We study the role of connections in academic hiring decisions and post-hire employee productivity in a sample of 740 finance faculty hired at the time of their doctoral degree completion. Departments hire individuals with school connections to other recently hired faculty at a significantly higher rate than would be predicted from other features of the data. Similarly, schools exhibit an enhanced propensity to hire individuals with last names that indicate a similar ethnic background to incumbent members of the department. School-connected hires tend to publish at a significantly higher rate than expected, while the opposite is true for ethnic-connected hires. These findings are consistent with the presence of substantial positive information effects and negative favoritism effects associated with connected hiring.
